Teaching and Learning @ Distance

Scope of syllabus: The internal structure of chloroplast to give an idea of the site of light and dark reaction. Opening and closing of stomata , the importance of a correct balanced chemical equation. The term “photochemical” for light phase and “biosynthetic” for dark phase. In the light reaction, activation of chlorophyll molecule followed by photolysis, release of oxygen, formation of ATP and NADP. In the dark reaction(detailed equations not required), only combination of hydrogen released by NADP with carbon dioxide to form glucose. Adaptations in a plant for photosynthesis.
